Xiaomi MiMIXXiaomi Mi Mix is one of those rare jewels on the market that needs no introductions. An all-ceramic smartphone with an edge-to-edge screen is a device that draws all the attention. It's a high-tech dream come true and it sure looks like a Sci-Fi movie prop.

The Xiaomi Mi Mix has probably surpassed any other smartphone in terms of positive interest this season due to its amazing edgeless design that seems like a device from the future. While others competed in camera and chipsets, Xiaomi went for the most visible innovation - design.

It's not like we haven't seen phones with edgeless screens already as Sharp was the first to achieve this with its Aquos Crystal and Aquos Crystal 2. But the Aquos series were available in extremely limited numbers (and places!), and the truth is we never met one of those.

With the breath-taking design comes great specs expectations, and the company tried its best to live up to those. The Mi Mix is powered by the Snapdragon 821 chip with either 4 or 6 gigs of RAM. There is a 16MP main camera with EIS and an unusually positioned 5MP selfie shooter. Finally, a 4,400 mAh battery should provide you with enough power autonomy.

Xiaomi continues to shape our vision of the future technology. Its new smartphone has the guts to surpass every other with its unusual, elegant styling and advanced features. The first handset to ever get a bezel-less display is surely worth our attention.

Ceramic casing

Mi MIX has a unibody construction and comes in black only. The smartphone is made out of ceramics, including the back panel, the frame, and buttons. It is scratch resistant and wins 8.5 points on Mohs scale of hardness. Years of careful usage will hardly leave signs of dents and discoloration.

Ceramic casing

Mi MIX has a unibody construction and comes in black and white. The smartphone is made out of ceramics, including the back panel, the frame, and buttons. It is scratch resistant and wins 8.5 points on Mohs scale of hardness. Years of careful usage will hardly leave signs of dents and discoloration.

In an attempt to make a screen workspace wider, the front-facing camera is made 50 % smaller and is relocated to the bottom of the screen. That is where proximity sensor also sits. Instead of regular speakers piezoelectric acoustic technology was applied.

Megascopic camera

The flagship was prepped with a 16 MP PDAF main camera with dual-LED flash and f / 2.0 aperture. It is able to record 4K / 1080p / 720p at 30 fps and roll in slow-motion at 120 fps. It also features autofocus phase detection, facial recognition, and panorama mode.

The 5 MP front snapper captures 1080p video, however, would be a real deal for photos. Though situated under the screen, the camera will rotate with the phone when a user wants to take a selfie.

Top-notch processor

Once again users can be guaranteed a possibility to operate several apps simultaneously and have a fast feedback. Xiaomi Mi MIX is powered with the latest generation of Qualcomm processors — quad-core Snapdragon 821 clocked at 2.35 GHz coupled with Adreno 530 graphics. This smartphone can handle most demanding games and provides a great performance in everyday usage.

Maximum storage

On the storage front, Xiaomi offers 2 configurations: 128 GB + 4 GB LPDDR4 RAM and 256 GB + 6 GB RAM, both working on UFS 2.0. Feels like carrying the whole world with you and being able to retreat and share any information fast.

Audio and sound

Xiaomi Mi MIX has a 192 Hz /24-bitchip for higher-resolution audio. Listen to music the way artist intended it to sound in the studio, talk to your friends and hear them clean and crisp.

Battery

Xiaomi Mi MIX wears a 4400 mAh non-removable battery, backed up with fast-charging technology 3.0. It allows charging the phone to its full capacity in less than an hour. Mi MIX is fitted with a single USB Type-C for a faster power delivery and more stable connection with another device. The smartphone can work for 256 hours in sleep mode and 13 hours while you are playing games.

Exclusive Edition will have the same tech features as its counterpart, apart from the memory factor: it will get 256 GB + 6 GB RAM. Its rear camera and fingertip sensor are rimmed with 18K gold.

Not so many years after its inception, Xiaomi remains fully immersed into a process of creating products that all but confirm future has already come. The wealth of high-end options Mi MIX offers makes this gadget a must-have for a modern user, ready to explore the world.
